Course Description

Learn how to train, manage, and deploy machine learning models on Azure. The course focuses on Azure Machine Learning, exploring the service and features like assessing data, managing compute, tracking the training machine learning models, implementing Responsible AI principles, and deploying models to endpoints.

Work with notebook and scripts to train machine learning models and use Azure Machine Learning managed compute for workloads.

Students are expected to be familiar with the basic data science and machine learning concepts.

This course covers the objectives for Microsoft Exam DP-100: Designing and Implementing a Data Science Solution on Azure.

University of Calgary is Microsoft Education Global Training Partner.
